I just bought my brand new out of the box Hauppage PVR-150 a couple of days ago. After some struggling with the Audio codecs I managed to get GB-PVR up and running.
I've had some real problems getting my Hauppage remote to work. I've discovered I had two independant problems, one of which is now fixed. The remote seemed to have very poor or nonexistant reception.
At one point, the remote was working, but only if I placed it within a few centimeters of the IR Receiver. I eventually discovered that the in tangle of cables behind my box, the IR Receiver/Blaster cable had wound itself right around the power cable, right next to the power supply. Interference galore. Fixed that problem.
My real problem now seems to be that after using GB-PVR for a while, the remote seems to die out. There's no response at all from the remote. Switch to WinTV2000 and the remote still doesn't work. Stop and restart the IR application, and the remote still doesn't work. The only thing that works consistently at present is restarting the computer (from the Start menu), but that's an annoying solution.
I'm wondering if anyone has any experience or insight with this. What do the Hauppage 35/45 button button fixes do exactly? Do you think it's a GB-PVR or Hauppage problem? Is there some other process that might be killing something off?
Thanks for your time.
